Kurilpa Bridge was based upon the principles of ’tensegrity’ – a system of isolated components in compression and tension – the world’s largest structure employing these principles. The structure was designed in collaboration with Arup and links the Brisbane CBD to the city’s Arts precinct.

Domenic Alvaro’s Small House, a compact vertical house in Sydney’s Surry Hills won the House category.

Situated on a site that, as the architect describes, is so small it can fit into the garage of a typical sprawling suburban home, Small House demonstrates the potential of building upwards rather than outwards, with flexible spaces that can be used in different ways.
